Supplemental Restraint
Systems (SRS)
Some of the safety features described
in this section may be standard
equipment on some models, or may be
optional equipment on others. If you are
not sure, ask your authorized dealer.
The air bag system must be ready to
protect you in a collision. The Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the
internal circuits and interconnecting
wiring associated with the electrical Air
Bag System Components. Your vehicle
may be equipped with the following Air
Bag System Components:

Air Bag Warning Light
The ORC monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the air bag
system whenever the ignition switch is
in the AVV/START or ON/RUN position.
If the ignition switch is in the STOP
position or in the ON/RUN position, the
air bag system is not on and the air
bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the air
bag system even if the battery loses
power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.
The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning
Light in the instrument panel for
approximately four to eight seconds for a
self-check when the ignition switch is first
in the ON/RUN position. After the
self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light will
turn off. If the ORC detects a malfunction
in any part of the system, it turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light, either
momentarily or continuously. A single
chime will sound to alert you if the light
comes on again after initial startup.
The ORC also includes diagnostics that
will illuminate the instrument panel Air
Bag Warning Light if a malfunction is
detected that could affect the air bag
system. The diagnostics also record the
nature of the malfunction. While the air
bag system is designed to be
maintenance free, if any of the following
occurs, have an authorized dealer
service the air bag system immediately.
The Air Bag Warning Light does not
come on during the four to eight
seconds when the ignition is first in the
ON/RUN position.
The Air Bag Warning Light remains
on after the four to eight-second
interval.
The Air Bag Warning Light comes on
intermittently or remains on while
driving.
Note:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any
engine related gauges are not working,
the Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) may also be disabled. In this
condition the air bags may not be ready
to inflate for your protection. Have an
authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.
Warning!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light in your
instrument panel could mean you won’t
have the air bag system to protect you in a
collision. If the light does not come on as a
bulb check when the ignition is first turned
on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if
it comes on as you drive, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.

Redundant Air Bag Warning
Light
If a fault with the Air Bag Warning
Light is detected, which could affect the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS),
the Redundant Air Bag Warning Light
will illuminate on the instrument panel.
The Redundant Air Bag Warning Light
will stay on until the fault is cleared. In
addition, a single chime will sound to
alert you that the Redundant Air Bag
Warning Light has come on and a fault
has been detected. If the Redundant Air
Bag Warning Light comes on
intermittently or remains on while driving
have an authorized dealer service the
vehicle immediately. For additional
information regarding the Redundant Air
Bag Warning Light, refer to “Warning
Lights And Messages” in the “Getting to
Know Your Instrument Panel” section of
this manual.
Front Air Bags
This vehicle has front air bags and
lap/shoulder belts for both the driver
and front passenger. The front air bags
are a supplement to the seat belt
restraint systems. The driver front air
bag is mounted in the center of the
steering wheel. The passenger front air
bag is mounted in the instrument panel,
above the glove compartment. The
words “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG” are
embossed on the air bag covers.
Warning!
Being too close to the steering wheel or
instrument panel during front air bag
deployment could cause serious injury,
including death. Air bags need room to
inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending
your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in front of an air bag. A deploying
passenger front air bag can cause death or
serious injury to a child 12 years or
younger, including a child in a rear-facing
child restraint.
Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a
vehicle with a rear seat.
Driver And Passenger Front Air
Bag Features
The Advanced Front Air Bag system
has multistage driver and front
passenger air bags. This system
provides output appropriate to the
severity and type of collision as
determined by the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC), which may receive
information from the front impact
sensors (if equipped) or other system
components.
The first stage inflator is triggered
immediately during an impact that
requires air bag deployment. A low
energy output is used in less severe
06106S0001EMDriver Air Bag
06106S0002EMPassenger Air Bag
116
SAFETY

collisions. A higher energy output is
used for more severe collisions.
This vehicle may be equipped with a
driver and/or front passenger seat belt
buckle switch that detects whether the
driver or front passenger seat belt is
buckled. The seat belt buckle switch
may adjust the inflation rate of the
Advanced Front Air Bags.
This vehicle may be equipped with
driver and/or front passenger seat track
position sensors that may adjust the
inflation rate of the Advanced Front Air
Bags based upon seat position.
Warning!
No objects should be placed over or
near the air bag on the instrument panel or
steering wheel because any such objects
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
collision severe enough to cause the air
bag to inflate.
Do not put anything on or around the air
bag covers or attempt to open them
manually. You may damage the air bags
and you could be injured because the air
bags may no longer be functional. The
protective covers for the air bag cushions
are designed to open only when the air
bags are inflating.
Relying on the air bags alone could lead
to more severe injuries in a collision. The air
bags work with your seat belt to restrain
you properly. In some collisions, air bags
won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat
belts even though you have air bags.
Front Air Bag Operation
Front Air Bags are designed to provide
additional protection by supplementing
the seat belts. Front air bags are not
expected to reduce the risk of injury in
rear, side, or rollover collisions. The front
air bags will not deploy in all frontal
collisions, including some that may
produce substantial vehicle damage —
for example, some pole collisions, truck
underrides, and angle offset collisions.
On the other hand, depending on the
type and location of impact, front air
bags may deploy in crashes with little
vehicle front-end damage but that
produce a severe initial deceleration.
Because air bag sensors measure
vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle
speed and damage by themselves are
not good indicators of whether or not
an air bag should have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your
protection in all collisions, and also are
needed to help keep you in position,
away from an inflating air bag. When the ORC detects a collision
requiring the front air bags, it signals the
inflator units. A large quantity of
non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the
front air bags.
The steering wheel hub trim cover and
the upper right side of the instrument
panel separate and fold out of the way
as the air bags inflate to their full size.
The front air bags fully inflate in less
time than it takes to blink your eyes.
The front air bags then quickly deflate
while helping to restrain the driver and
front passenger.
Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect
the knees of the driver and front
passenger, and position the front
occupants for improved interaction with
the front air bags.
Warning!
Do not drill, cut, or tamper with the knee
impact bolsters in any way.
Do not mount any accessories to the
knee impact bolsters such as alarm lights,
stereos, citizen band radios, etc.
117

Warning!
Do not use accessory seat covers or place
objects between you and the Side Air
Bags; the performance could be adversely
affected and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.
2. Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABICs): Located above the
side windows. The trim covering the
SABICs is labeled “SRS AIRBAG” or
“AIRBAG.”
SABICs may help reduce the risk of
head or other injuries to front and rear
seat outboard occupants in certain side
impacts and/or vehicle rollover events, in
addition to the injury reduction potential
provided by the seat belts and body
structure.
The SABICs deploy downward,
covering the side windows. An inflating
SABIC pushes the outside edge of the
trim out of the way and covers the
window. The SABICs inflate with
enough force to injure occupants if they
are not belted and seated properly, or if
items are positioned in the area where
the SABICs inflate. Children are at an
even greater risk of injury from a
deploying air bag.
Warning!
Do not stack luggage or other cargo up
high enough to block the deployment of the
SABICs. The trim covering above the side
windows where the SABIC and its
deployment path are located should remain
free from any obstructions.
In order for the SABICs to work as
intended, do not install any accessory
items in your vehicle which could alter the
roof. Do not add an aftermarket sunroof to
your vehicle. Do not add roof racks that
require permanent attachments (bolts or
screws) for installation on the vehicle roof.
Do not drill into the roof of the vehicle for
any reason.
The SABICs and SABs (Side Air Bags)
are designed to activate in certain side
impacts and certain rollover events. The
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
determines whether the deployment of
the Side Air Bags in a particular side impact or rollover event is appropriate,
based on the severity and type of
collision. Vehicle damage by itself is not
a good indicator of whether or not Side
Air Bags should have deployed.
Side Air Bags are a supplement to the
seat belt restraint system. Side Air Bags
deploy in less time than it takes to blink
your eyes.
Warning!
Occupants, including children, who are
up against or very close to Side Air Bags
can be seriously injured or killed.
Occupants, including children, should never
lean on or sleep against the door, side
windows, or area where the side air bags
inflate, even if they are in an infant or child
restraint.
Seat belts (and child restraints where
appropriate) are necessary for your
protection in all collisions. They also help
keep you in position, away from an inflating
Side Air Bag. To get the best protection
from the Side Air Bags, occupants must
wear their seat belts properly and sit
upright with their backs against the seats.
Children must be properly restrained in a
child restraint or booster seat that is
appropriate for the size of the child.

Warning!
Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do
not lean against the door or window. Sit
upright in the center of the seat
Being too close to the Side Air Bags
during deployment could cause you to be
severely injured or killed.
Relying on the Side Air Bags alone could
lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
The Side Air Bags work with your seat belt
to restrain you properly. In some collisions,
Side Air Bags won’t deploy at all. Always
wear your seat belt even though you have
Side Air Bags.
Note:
Air bag covers may not be obvious in
the interior trim, but they will open
during air bag deployment.
Side Impacts
In side impacts, the side impact
sensors aid the ORC in determining the
appropriate response to impact events.
The system is calibrated to deploy the
Side Air Bags on the impact side of the
vehicle during impacts that require Side
Air Bag occupant protection. In side
impacts, the Side Air Bags deploy
independently; a left side impact
deploys the left Side Air Bags only and
a right side impact deploys the right
Side Air Bags only. The Side Air Bags will not deploy in all
side collisions, including some collisions
at certain angles, or some side
collisions that do not impact the area of
the passenger compartment. The Side
Air Bags may deploy during angled or
offset frontal collisions where the front
air bags deploy.
Rollover Events
Side Air Bags are designed to activate
in certain rollover events. The ORC
determines whether the deployment of
the Side Air Bags in a particular rollover
event is appropriate, based on the
severity and type of collision. Vehicle
damage by itself is not a good indicator
of whether or not Side Air Bags should
have deployed.
The Side Air Bags will not deploy in all
rollover events. The rollover sensing
system determines if a rollover event
may be in progress and whether
deployment is appropriate. In the event
the vehicle experiences a rollover or
near rollover event, and deployment of
the Side Air Bags is appropriate, the
rollover sensing system will also deploy
the seat belt pretensioners on both
sides of the vehicle.
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of
partial or complete ejection of vehicle
occupants through side windows in
certain rollover or side impact events.

bag system.
120
SAFETY

If you do have a collision which deploys
the air bags, any or all of the following
may occur:
The air bag material may sometimes
cause abrasions and/or skin reddening
to the occupants as the air bags deploy
and unfold. The abrasions are similar to
friction rope burns or those you might
get sliding along a carpet or gymnasium
floor. They are not caused by contact
with chemicals. They are not permanent
and normally heal quickly. However, if
you haven’t healed significantly within a
few days, or if you have any blistering,
see your doctor immediately.
As the air bags deflate, you may see
some smoke-like particles. The
particles are a normal by-product of the
process that generates the non-toxic
gas used for air bag inflation. These
airborne particles may irritate the skin,
eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or
eye irritation, rinse the area with cool
water. For nose or throat irritation, move
to fresh air. If the irritation continues,
see your doctor. If these particles settle
on your clothing, follow the garment
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air
bags have deployed. If you are involved
in another collision, the air bags will not
be in place to protect you.
Warning!
Deployed air bags and seat belt
pretensioners cannot protect you in
another collision. Have the air bags, seat
belt pretensioners, and the seat belt
retractor assemblies replaced by an
authorized dealer immediately. Also, have
the Occupant Restraint Controller System
serviced as well.
Note:
Air bag covers may not be obvious
in the interior trim, but they will open
during air bag deployment.
After any collision, the vehicle
should be taken to an authorized
dealer immediately.
Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact, if the
communication network remains intact,
and the power remains intact,
depending on the nature of the event,
the ORC will determine whether to have
the Enhanced Accident Response
System perform the following functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine.
Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power or until the hazard
light button is pressed. The hazard lights can be deactivated by pressing
the hazard light button.
Turn on the interior lights, which
remain on as long as the battery has
power or for 15 minutes from the
intervention of the Enhanced Accident
Response System.
Unlock the power door locks.
Turn off the Fuel Pump Heater
(if equipped).
Turn off the HVAC Blower Motor.
Close the HVAC Circulation Door.
Enhanced Accident Response
System Reset Procedure
After the event occurs, when the
system is active, a message regarding
fuel cutoff is displayed. Turn the ignition
switch from ignition AVV/START or
ON/RUN to ignition STOP/OFF.
Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks
in the engine compartment and on the
ground near the engine compartment
and fuel tank before resetting the
system and starting the engine.
Depending on the nature of the event
the left and right turn signal lights,
located in the instrument panel, may
both be blinking and will continue to
blink. In order to move your vehicle to
the side of the road, you must follow
the system reset procedure.

Maintaining Your Air Bag
System
Warning!
Modifications to any part of the air bag
system could cause it to fail when you
need it. You could be injured if the air bag
system is not there to protect you. Do not
modify the components or wiring, including
adding any kind of badges or stickers to
the steering wheel hub trim cover or the
upper right side of the instrument panel.
Do not modify the front bumper, vehicle
body structure, or add aftermarket side
steps or running boards.
It is dangerous to try to repair any part
of the air bag system yourself. Be sure to
tell anyone who works on your vehicle that
it has an air bag system.
Do not attempt to modify any part of
your air bag system. The air bag may
inflate accidentally or may not function
properly if modifications are made. Take
your vehicle to an authorized dealer for any
air bag system service. If your seat,
including your trim cover and cushion,
needs to be serviced in any way (including
removal or loosening/tightening of seat
attachment bolts), take the vehicle to your
authorized dealer. Only manufacturer
approved seat accessories may be used.
If it is necessary to modify the air bag
system for persons with disabilities,
contact your authorized dealer.
122
SAFETY

Event Data Recorder (EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main purpose
of an EDR is to record, in certain crash
or near crash-like situations, such as an
air bag deployment or hitting a road
obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed. The EDR is designed to
record data related to vehicle dynamics
and safety systems for a short period of
time, typically 30 seconds or less. The
EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
Note: EDR data are recorded by your
vehicle only if a non-trivial crash
situation occurs; no data are recorded
by the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash location)
are recorded. However, other parties,
such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition
to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties,
such as law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the
information if they have access to the
vehicle or the EDR.
Child Restraints
Everyone in your vehicle needs to be
buckled up at all times, including babies
and children. Every state in the United
States, and every Canadian province,
requires that small children ride in
proper restraint systems. This is the
law, and you can be prosecuted for
ignoring it.
Children 12 years or younger should
ride properly buckled up in a rear seat,
if available. According to crash
statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seats
rather than in the front.
Warning!
In a collision, an unrestrained child can
become a projectile inside the vehicle. The
force required to hold even an infant on
your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how
strong you are. The child and others could
be badly injured. Any child riding in your
vehicle should be in a proper restraint for
the child’s size.
There are different sizes and types of
restraints for children from newborn size
to the child almost large enough for an
adult safety belt. Always check the child
seat Owner’s Manual to make sure you
have the correct seat for your child.
Carefully read and follow all the
instructions and warnings in the child
restraint Owner’s Manual and on all the
labels attached to the child restraint.
Before buying any restraint system,
make sure that it has a label certifying
that it meets all applicable Safety
Standards. You should also make sure
that you can install it in the vehicle
where you will use it.

Summary Of Recommendations For Restraining Children In Vehicles
Child Size, Height, Weight Or Age Recommended Type Of Child Restraint
Infants and Toddlers Childr
en who are two years old or younger
and who have not reached the height or
weight limits of their child restraint Either an Infant Carrier or a Convertible Child
Restraint, facing rearward in the rear seat of
the vehicle
Small Children Children who are at least two years old or
who have out-grown the height or weight limit
of their rear-facing child restraint Forward-Facing Child Restraint with a
five-point Harness, facing forward in the rear
seat of the vehicle
Larger Children Children who have out-grown their
forward-facing child restraint, but are too
small to properly fit the vehicle’s seat belt Belt Positioning Booster Seat and the vehicle
seat belt, seated in the rear seat of the
vehicle
Children Too Large for Child Restraints Children 12 years old or younger, who have
out-grown the height or weight limit of their
booster seat Vehicle Seat Belt, seated in the rear seat of
the vehicle
Infant And Child Restraints
Safety experts recommend that children
ride rear-facing in the vehicle until they
are two years old or until they reach
either the height or weight limit of their
rear-facing child restraint. Two types of
child restraints can be used rear-facing:
infant carriers and convertible child
seats.
The infant carrier is only used
rear-facing in the vehicle. It is
recommended for children from birth
until they reach the weight or height
limit of the infant carrier. Convertible
child seats can be used either
rear-facing or forward-facing in the
vehicle. Convertible child seats often
have a higher weight limit in therear-facing direction than infant carriers
do, so they can be used rear-facing by
children who have outgrown their infant
carrier but are still less than at least two
years old. Children should remain
rear-facing until they reach the highest
weight or height allowed by their
convertible child seat.
Warning!
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in front of an air bag. A deploying
passenger front air bag can cause death or
serious injury to a child 12 years or
younger, including a child in a rear-facing
child restraint.
Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a
vehicle with a rear seat.
Older Children And Child
Restraints
Children who are two years old or who
have outgrown their rear-facing
convertible child seat can ride
forward-facing in the vehicle.
Forward-facing child seats and
convertible child seats used in the
forward-facing direction are for children
who are over two years old or who have
outgrown the rear-facing weight or
height limit of their rear-facing
convertible child seat. Children should
remain in a forward-facing child seat
124
SAFETY

with a harness for as long as possible,
up to the highest weight or height
allowed by the child seat.
All children whose weight or height is
above the forward-facing limit for the
child seat should use a belt-positioning
booster seat until the vehicle’s seat
belts fit properly. If the child cannot sit
with knees bent over the vehicle’s seat
cushion while the child’s back is against
the seatback, they should use a
belt-positioning booster seat. The child
and belt-positioning booster seat are
held in the vehicle by the seat belt.
Warning!
Improper installation can lead to failure
of an infant or child restraint. It could come
loose in a collision. The child could be
badly injured or killed. Follow the child
restraint manufacturer’s directions exactly
when installing an infant or child restraint.
After a child restraint is installed in the
vehicle, do not move the vehicle seat
forward or rearward because it can loosen
the child restraint attachments. Remove
the child restraint before adjusting the
vehicle seat position. When the vehicle seat
has been adjusted, reinstall the child
restraint.
When your child restraint is not in use,
secure it in the vehicle with the seat belt or
LATCH anchorages, or remove it from the
vehicle. Do not leave it loose in the vehicle.
In a sudden stop or accident, it could strike
the occupants or seatbacks and cause
serious personal injury.
Children Too Large For Booster
Seats
Children who are large enough to wear
the shoulder belt comfortably, and
whose legs are long enough to bend
over the front of the seat when their
back is against the seatback, should
use the seat belt in a rear seat. Use this
simple 5-step test to decide whether
the child can use the vehicle’s seat belt
alone:
1. Can the child sit all the way back
against the back of the vehicle seat?
2. Do the child’s knees bend
comfortably over the front of the vehicle
seat – while they are still sitting all the
way back?
3. Does the shoulder belt cross the
child’s shoulder between their neck and
arm? 4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as
possible, touching the child’s thighs and
not their stomach?
5. Can the child stay seated like this for
the whole trip?
If the answer to any of these questions
was “no,” then the child still needs to
use a booster seat in this vehicle. If the
child is using the lap/shoulder belt,
check seat belt fit periodically and make
sure the seat belt buckle is latched. A
child’s squirming or slouching can move
the belt out of position. If the shoulder
belt contacts the face or neck, move
the child closer to the center of the
vehicle, or use a booster seat to
position the seat belt on the child
correctly.
Warning!
Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt
under an arm or behind their back. In a
crash, the shoulder belt will not protect a
child properly, which may result in serious
injury or death. A child must always wear
both the lap and shoulder portions of the
seat belt correctly.
